However I took the staff 15 minutes before they took our order, they were in the corner just talking and laughing. Being apart of the food industry for a few years, you never keep a customer waiting no more than a few minutes. We order a few menu options, the Tiger roll, the eel roll, shrimp tempura and spider rolls. The food was on point and done very well considering the time of night it was, I was very happy to see the effort put in during the end of the night. The restaurant looks and feels like a Japanese sushi restaurant with the symbols and the straw hut appearance on the inside, some also had wooden benches against the wall, and a sushi bar in front where you can watch them prepare it in front of you. I have had better experiences in other sushi restaurants, but this was a great recovery by the staff and the experience went well!

The sushi chefs especially are really dedicated to their craft, and I've had sushi from Cali but this taste better imo because I know it was made with care. They make any accommodations you need and really care about their regulars and new customers alike! Being a regular here is such a worthwhile experience, Sake was definitely like a second home! Thank you Sake for 5 great years and many many many delicious jelly fish drinks

I'm a big fan of Pho and always looking for the next bowl of noodles and flavor…read more Entering this place was a bit confusing and no one was there to greet us. We finally approached the bartender and asked if we were to seat ourselves. They hesitated for a moment and called someone to come help us. We continued waiting another few minutes and a server came and put our name on the list. Though the restaurant was about 30% seated we waited about 20 minutes. We were sat and our server told us it'd be a minute longer before she could get to us. We sat at the table closest to the open air kitchen. Server showed up after us waiting another 5 minutes. We ordered and the food came up quickly and everything looked and smelled amazing. The gyoza came out hot and very flavorful. The pho looked better than it tasted, it was bland though the vegetables and proteins were cooked good. The flavor was more like a broth, it lacked substance, umami and depth as I expected. The prices are a bit high, the environment was bright and loud, definitely not a place for that first date. But great place if you and your friends are wanting to sit and talk loudly to each other. Overall not the best but a good place to take someone who's not expecting real traditional flavors.

This brick and mortar, counter service restaurant provides a fast-casual dining take on a classic, by reducing the amount of staff needed to run the place efficiently. Enter the food...whoa! The idea is to order your sushi the way fajitas come. Where you get all the fixings you need to make your own little sushi rolls. They even come on fajita caddies that I'm completely jealous of, and definitely looked up on Amazon while I was sitting there. They also offer traditional sushi rolls, sushi chimichangas, sushi tacos, Korean corn dogs and Elote! We ordered a Spicy Salmon Sushi Fajita, a Mizzou Roll, a White Tiger Roll and of course we had to try a Korean corn dog. The food was seriously amazing. The sushi fajita was huge, the rolls were delicious and fresh and the cheese pull on that Korean corn dog? Get outta here! Epic is the word. Honestly an Asian / Mexican fusion spot... leaning more Asian than traditional Mexican... with counter service is exactly what this college town needs. My son and I literally cannot wait to go back.

General Tsao and Sesame Chicken always on our list - always fresh and real chicken and not just breading with chicken tossed in different sauces.

The General is the same - delicious, good quality meat and made when ordered and not just tossed fried chicken in a general sauce as you get it too often af other places. The service is always friendly! The restaurant is clean and easy to order and to pick up. Never waited too long, never was handed food that was not ready yet.
